With a vegetarian kid we tend to eat a lot of beans. Here are some favorite recipes:

There are plenty of good recipes for it online if you don’t get nytimes.

Red beans and rice.
Couple years ago I decided I wanted to come up with a red beans and rice recipe similar to what they serve at Popeyes.
Emeril's recipe does the trick. So good! I just use two pounds of bacon instead of the ham and sausage that Emeril's recipe calls for.

Hummus, chickpea salad (for sandwiches), smitten kitchen black bean ragout, mujadarrah, Oh She Glows glowing lentil soup.

Cassoulet. I roll my eyes at the 2-day versions. There is no wrong way to make it. It was everyday poor people’s food that was meant to be made w whatever was on hand. I think chicken thighs and a sausage or two gives it the right level of fat. (I do make with whatever’s left from our Christmas goose or duck, but I wouldn’t cook a duck just to make cassoulet.)

I can't find the exact recipe I had in mind when I read your post, but this is pretty close.to one I made. Mine might have been all quinoa, and not rice. So, not beans, but good vegetarian protein and similar to the flavors you mention.

We did charro beans with vegetarian chorizo last night. I really need more fall flavor bean recipes. I’d like something that went well with butternut squash and sage.
